*The negation particle ''ma'' is accented and causes the verb's accent to be weakened or dropped (unless case endings or derivational prefixes are attached, in which case ''ma'' weakens its accent). It may be written attached to the verb. The jussive affirmative particle ''haa'' is also accented, but the imperative negative particle ''hin'' is unaccented. | *The negation particle ''ma'' is accented and causes the verb's accent to be weakened or dropped (unless case endings or derivational prefixes are attached, in which case ''ma'' weakens its accent).
